  • sigh The things he would have done had he returned for his senior year. Still worthy of a highlight reel because his laser like passes were incredible. If watching this adds salt to the wound, I apologize and I will await your hate mail.

    Henson was the most talented QB I have ever seen. He had a cannon for an arm but could still throw with touch if needed. He was confident and athletic. When he chose to play baseball that summer I literally cried. I couldn't believe he chose baseball over a senior season as Michigan's Qb. I'm 48 now and when I hear his name it still fills me with disappointment of what could have been. He still to this day had the most potential I have seen at the qb position.

      yup, he was the most naturally gifted QB at UM i've seen since JJ
      he possibly wins the heisman in 2001, no way we lose to OSU in 2001, and possibly in NC contention

      Agreed. Can you imagine if they had NIL back in his day? He never would have looked at baseball again. He would have concentrated fully on being the QB at Michigan and the program would have been real contenders for the Natty. The purest quarterback Michigan has ever seen except maybe for JJ but Drew had it all. And then there was Tom Brady behind him, a different kind of quarterback, couldn't run as well as Henson, not as athletic, but smart, great arm, leadership, and he ended up being the greatest quarterback in the game. GOAT.

That is still the last team to win in Columbus, and the Bowl game. We need to motivate Harbaugh to change that, permanently. As Tressel still parlays his Wiccan magick of the # 9.

    Drew the stud was selected by the Yankees, who were then owned by OSU grad George Steinbrenner, in 1998.

      fucking buckey steinbrenner first breaks up my beloved yankee team with randolph, chambliss, davis et al just because they lost in the playoffs after winning 103 games! that made me give up my beloved baseball after being a lifetime fan! then he signs does the same thing with jeter that he did later with henson, both times intentional! he called jeter up before he could play for michigan! i did deliver him a pizza on prospect st while he was here anyway! i also met him on the field when he was here for homecoming in ‘98 when I had a photo pass that day. i also me mini me that day, who was also on the sidelines and i almost killed him! i was on the side of the end zone shooting when the action suddenly turned my way and i had to quickly back out of the way to avoid being run over but little did i know the little man was behind me and i half smushed him and almost stepped on him!
      i first saw him at halftime when i was about to go back thru the tunnel into the stadium after going to crisler where they would have hot dogs for the press at halftime and there was mini me riding in a golf cart! coincidentally right after that i see an old friend from tappan jr high (where i played fb for the same coaches harbaugh did 2 yrs after me) & pointed out mini me, so rob, the friend said hey take a pic of me with him & he ran over to ask vern, who obliged us!
      then i got to talk to him on the sidelines & wondered why he was there & he said he grew up in kzoo like jeter & was a lifelong M fan! he was one of the nicest guys i ever met & i cried when he died 😢
      lastly, shooting for the free football guide, in the 2 of 3 yrs i did it we got sideline photo passes but only 3 games a yr, always for crappy games except for one game against penn state, featured prominently in this video!
      the best fb pic i ever took was that bj askew td down the sideline where he hurdled the dude in this vid! i was right in that spot where he did the hurdle, which from my vantage point was WAY more impressive than it looks here from the tv angle! it truly looked SPECTACULAR in my shot!
      i watching on a tiny crappy iphone and can’t slow it down enough or get it sharp or clear enough at the right moment to see myself in this vid, grr!!!

He is the only human who ever lived who can make that claim. Drew is also a multi millionaire.

He was hyped as the Next Big Thing, as a possible future GOAT. Instead, he’s a What Might Have Been. He should have been like Brady, who was also great at multiple sports. TB decided to focus on one sport only and worked his butt off through practice and film study to be the best that he could be. DH didn’t do that, relying too much on his natural athletic ability and not putting in the time and the work to be truly great at one sport. It’s doubtful that he is living the life that he expected and that he is truly happy about that. What Timothy Ernest wrote was absolute BS.

Bradshaw, Staubach, Tarkenton, Jaworski, Montana, Simms, Esiason, Young and many other QBs are doing fine. How does Henson compare to Willis and Kuechly at all? They were dominant "All Pro" Linebackers who retired due to injuries and concerns, Henson was a guy who gave up his best sport to play baseball for some early money and ultimately flamed out of both sports. I am almost certain that the boosters provided for Henson. He was far from destitute. One more year and he is a top 3 pick in the sport best suited for him. Greed and shortsightedness did him in.

    I remember the Syracuse game in '98. Brady had a bad day, and was pulled by Carr. When Brady went out, the score was 38-7. After Henson came in, things changed quickly. He led three scoring drives (two Walter Cross rushing TDs and a Henson TD pass to Marcus Knigh). The three scores all came in the final seven minutes of the 4th quarter. Final score: 38-28. That was one of the most impressive quarters (half-quarter actually) of M football as I have ever seen, especially in a loss.

And don't forget Michigan had some studs at wide receiver at that time. Who would fight for the ball to make a play. See what he did in the NFL when he didn't have the weapons on the outside. He did nothing. I don't understand Lloyd carrs thinking . How many games where Henson didn't do anything. And Brady would have to save the day ie that's y they called Brady the come back kid.

    Henson ended up hurting Michigan in more ways than not returning to play his senior year. To start Michigan wasn't 'allowed' to recruit any other QBs as a concession to Henson upon his commitment to the team. The other way was during Brady's final year in 1999. Had Lloyd stuck with Brady all season that team had the potential to have one of those historic seasons people talk about for years afterwards but Lloyd felt as though he had to give Henson opportunities to play even though they had an experienced and more than capable Tom Brady.

    Henson, like a lot of Baseball players was a gifted thrower, but he wasn't a passer and there is a huge difference. Tom Brady was a passer and as you've been able to see during his career, passers often have far more success in the pros than throwers who can fire a laser down the field.

    There are many similarities, between myself and Drew: he was born on 2-13-80. The same night I was intiated into an unwanting fraternity in Tuscaloosa, AL. Known as the SAEs. His passer rating was 135, which is the same as my Wechsler adult intelligence scale score, after I lost my temper with some "gold dust hippies", and a cowboy from Highland park Tx. On a cold night in January, of 1993. Now T Town needs to understand the symbolism of 2631.

      2631 was the endind point of Alabama's winning sreak. They won 26 straight games, and put up 31 points in a loss to Clemson, from my home state of South Carolina. Now they have to deal with the rage of not only Daniel Drew, born on 2-13-80. But of course myself, who was intiated into a fucking group of guys in Feb. of 1992 on 2-13 that Tuscaloosa will never fucking threaten.

    How many games did they start him, and then have Brady come in to try and save the game? Eventually benching him completely. and starting Brady. He failed in Dallas and bombed in Detroit. He got his shot in baseball, when that didnt pan out, he got his shot in the NFL 0-16 at Detroit. Brady could of led the Wolverines to a National championship is given a real chance. Still Hensen got to play to professional sports , which is nothing to scoff at. But he was terribly overrated. Good enough to play, but not enough to stay.

    • @gregoryphillips3969

      Great analysis, the mental side had to enter in somewhere. Maybe Henson wasn't as confident once he got to the NFL and realized that he couldn't instantly/easily dominate people. He landed on some NFL rosters that weren't that great. Henson has as much talent as anyone and given the right set of circumstances he would have fared alot better. There were plenty of NFL quarterbacks with less talent then Henson who had successful pro carers.
      Henson was an absolute stud.

      He could have been one of the greats in baseball or football had he concentrated fully on one sport and not tried to do two. Brady had been a Bay Area phenom in Little League baseball and had been drafted by the Montreal Expos. But he decided he wanted to play football and worked hard to make himself the best he could be at that sport. Bo Jackson could have been great in football or baseball but he tried to do both. That ultimately didn’t work out well for him. Or for Drew Henson.

Cannon arm, accuracy, size, scrambling ability but I question the desire to be great. The guy was caught between two sports where he had great physical ability in both. But the second he was challenged to step up his game in either sport through hard work he bolted to either the other sport or retired.
